Tugger - A Hidden Gem

Tugger: The Jeep 4x4 Who Wanted to Fly is a great kids movie.  I stumbled upon it at the library and Love wanted to check it out.  He loves anything that deals with cars, trains etc so I figured he would like this one too, but he LOVED it.  After watching he said it is one of his favorites.  I only saw bits and pieces while doing laundry but from what I saw it is really cute and has a nice story.

We also checked out Back to School with Franklin.  I don't think you can ever go wrong with Franklin.  The kids always like the show and it always has a good message.

Parenthood

I love the show Parenthood! 

Makes me laugh, makes me cry

Lauren Graham - loved her in Gilmore Girls too

Not a perfect family but they are so much fun

Makes me wish I had a closer relationship with my brothers

John Corbett!

Movie: Love & Other Drugs

I got the chance to watch Love & Other Drugs last night and I really liked it.  It took me awhile to get into it but then it really hit home.  I'm a sucker for romantic comedies so I knew I would like that aspect of the movie but at first I almost turned it off.  But when the movie started to tell more about Maggie and her having Parkinson's Disease that's where I got more into it.

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis which is a long-term disease that causes inflammation of the joints between the spinal bones, and the joints between the spine and pelvis. It eventually causes the affected spinal bones to join together.  Like Maggie I have days where I feel like I can't do anything without needing help.  I want to take care of my family and not have them worry about taking care of me, atleast not until I'm really old!  It scares me that even with the meds I will continue to get worse and there is no cure. 

I read the forums with others that have Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and my symptoms are nothing compared to some peoples and that too scares me.  My kids are 2 and 3 and I want to be able to always be there whenever they need me.  One of the symptoms of AS is fatigue which is no fun for anyone to deal with.  It makes me want to cry when I'm so tired all I want to do is lay down and my kids are still going at full speed.  I just try to suck it up and do all that I can to make it thru the day.
